If the distance between two charges is suddenly quadrupled, what happens to the electrostatic force between these charges? Not sure on this any suggestions? Thanks
The distance between charges is the physical distance between two electrically charged particles or objects.
The distance between charges can be calculated using Coulomb's Law, which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The strength of the electric force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the distance between charges increases, the electric force decreases.
The unit of measurement for distance between charges is meters (m) in the SI (International System of Units) system.
No, the distance between charges cannot be negative. It is a physical distance and therefore must be a positive value.
